Spot the difference. I'll gie you a clue.

One is highly sought after and is seen as a luxury and the other is a fat Hun.

So the silly season is defo upon us wie the press making up stories and ensuring that rent a quote agents get their rent a quotes in the press. Don't think their is a bigger rent a quote agent than Wullie McKay who is using us to force Birmingham to sell one of his unhappy clients.

As Agent McKay said

James is the best Scottish player of his generation and they always want to play at the highest level. Add to that I want a new baby Bentley and having the new Dalgleish playing in the fizzy pop league disnny dae nuthing for that.

No matter that Celtic have denied making the bid  the medija (both written and spoken word) still are peddling the story that we want the player. Agent McKay is doing his joab well. Mention, that his client wants to play at the highest level while trying to sell him to Bolton, Wigan or Fulham but tell him that Celtic are interested.

The press ,who are trying to fill up space on the back pages, then get rent a bob ex players sticking their oar in wie pearls of wisdom. Like this from Terry Butcher that bastion of integrity who would never sell his English soul for the Scottish pound by becoming the Scottish national teams assistant manager, remember this is Terry the Lionheart who has an iconic blood stained imaged ingrained on all skinheided, bulldug keeping little Englander eyeballs as the epitome of what is great aboot England..he said

I just think the way he goes about his business as a Birmingham City player helps unite all the Scotland fans. If you play for one of the Ol* F*rm there will always be people, no matter what you do, who won’t like you. Mair so if you play for they taig bastards. The Tartan Army are all gods peepul and know that it's evil to play for them.It's bad enough having to sing aboot ma proud Edwards army being sent hameward to think again but managing Celtic players who don't care aboot Queen and country.......

So, would Celtic be interested in the Scottish Di Canio ,the man who according to the Scottish press invented gallusness and the most overrated player to come oot of the SPL since Barry Ferguson went to Blackburn shat it and came back up the road wie his tail between his legs.

Yes, I think we could be interested. We did try and get him on loan at the turn of the year but we did boik at the fee Birmingham paid for him as I believe that we valued him at around half of what Birmingham paid. The money being talked aboot now means this "signing" is a lame duck news story like all the other lame duck news stories doing the rounds.

Until there is white smoke over the gates of Celtic Park we will get stories like this when we are told that we have been hit wie double disappointment when there is no hard facts that we were ever interested in these players in the first place.

Being linked in the papers wie these players is great and gives you a boost that maybe we are really trying to sign quality but the reality is we have signed the Derry Pele and have no evidence that we will be worrying Spartak Moscows door for the Russian Brattbakk.

Only when we have bodies in squad numbers can the future be predicted.
